Notice: we have extended the contest two days because of a login problem we had and some users unable to register with Wowhead. It will now end at 11:59PM PDT on December 30th.

Contest is closed, check back tomorrow afternoon for winners!

This Winter Veil season, instead of heading to the snowy peaks of Azeroth to save a reindeer and stop the Greench, you should head to the beach--Turtle Beach that is!

When they reached out to us to hold a giveaway at Wowhead for their Ear Force Z6A and Ear Force Z2 gamer headsets recently, I had to say yes; I mean, what's better than a brand new state of the art headset just in time for the holidays? It beats Graccu's Mince Meat Fruitcake, that's for sure!

The giveaway starts December 20th and runs through the 28th. We're handing out one headset each day to a randomly chosen winner and we will announce them on the contest page every day then do a big post when the contest is over.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out next month and the beta has been in gear for quite some time. Many of the Wowhead staff members, myself included, have spent their share of time with the force lately and loved it. Unfortunately, the beta has been hard to get into for many fans beyond a weekend stress test. This week, however, we've got a chance for you to get in easily!

Our parent site, ZAM, is giving away 25,000 beta keys for SWTOR on a first come, first serve basis. Yes, 25,000 keys. We'd love for you to support them by entering their giveaway and trying out SWTOR. All you have to do is sign-up for a ZAM account and you get a free key instantly sent to you--while supplies last, of course.

Please note that this is a key for their next testing phase, which will start shortly--BioWare will be emailing you an invite based on the email you redeem the code with.

A pretty big news round up day, as we have a lot of news to share plus fun things like contest winners and our Deathwing kill video.

First and foremost, however, we have a job opening at Wowhead. It's always a huge honor to bring someone aboard our team and this time is no different. ZAM is growing and we've found ourselves in need of a Java Developer. If you have a lot of experience and know how to code, as well as have a strong passion for video games, you should look us up; after reading the requirements, just send your salary history and resume to jobs@wowhead.com if you're interested.

Deathwing Kill Video

I made this a few days ago for Tankspot--it's just me killing Deathwing on the final encounter of Dragon Soul from this week's PTR. I realized I never shared it, though!

A few words on the fight: first off, it's really fun. It looks boring when you see a video, because it's just generally boring to watch videos anyway; the gist of the fight is that you gain buffs, you have to dynamically jump to the platform, and the

The Guardian Cub is now available at the Blizzard store--and I'm going to give away THREE of these little guys to some eager Wowhead commenters just because I want to (and because they're really cute). So if you want to get one for free, here's your chance!

Reply to this post in the comments to be entered to win one of these cute pets to take home.

Drawing will be held tomorrow afternoon at 5PM PDT, I will be choosing at random, and I will send you the code via email that night if you win.

Now available in the Pet Store: the new and titanically cute Guardian Cub companion. Orphaned by its titan creators, the fledgling Guardian Cub has taken wing to look for a happy home. Adopt one today and it will stay by your side through thick and thin, following your character just about anywhere your adventures take you—even into the skies of Azeroth.

The Guardian Cub is the Pet Store's first tradable pet, meaning it can be swapped between character

This season, however, we decided to take it up a notch by cooking up our own special treats for our community! Ten grand prize winners will receive all of the following: a box set of Throne of the Tides, two class starter decks, two packs of Headless Horseman sleeves, and a loot code. Ten follow-up winners will receive: two class starter decks, two packs of Headless Horseman sleeves, and a loot code. Finally, ten second prize winners will receive a loot code of their very own to take home.

Blizzard gave ZAM a two BlizzCon 2011 livestream codes so we're passing them on to you in the spirit of community. Of course, since the convention is starting in less than 24 hours, this little giveaway is going to be a blitzkrieg, so you only have a couple hours to enter.

Comment in this post by 3AM 6AM PDT to be entered to win one of two BlizzCon virtual tickets.

Similar to other spur of the moment giveaways, we'll be picking the winner randomly. As for what your virtual ticket will include, should you win:

In other words, while it's not quite a swag bag, it is an awesome in-game pet and your chance for in-depth coverage without having to leave your home (or load Wowhead News)! Good luck to all who enter!

Contest is closed. The two winners are Ambellina and Worldfamous. Thanks all!

It's been several weeks since our last giveaway here at Wowhead, so I figured we should hold an impromptu one to break up the monotony. And if there's one thing I've learned lately, it's that a whole lot of you are really itching for some dungeon crawling and looting...

...So how about some Diablo III beta keys?

Comment on this post with what your favorite Diablo III class is to be entered to win your very own beta key.

Don't delay, though--we only have five keys to give away and we'll choose winners tomorrow, October 4th, at 6PM PST from the comments at random. Special thanks go to both ZAM and Blizzard for providing us the keys.

Everyone was shocked to learn Mila Kunis dabbled in Azeroth in her downtime a couple years back. After all, how could a celebrity manage World of Warcraft and being famous?

We seem to forget that celebrities are just like everyone else--and that means a lot of "famous" people play WoW. From sports professionals to famous actors, WoW's digital world is home to a lot of different characters both in-game and out. It's part of the allure.

So that's where this feature comes in. We're looking behind the curtains of characters and seeing who actually plays them, hopefully with some interesting results. For our first interview, I tracked down Chris Kluwe right before the NFL season starts and asked him about his gaming habits, particularly the one that earned him his very own WoW TCG card after his character.

Watch out though, if you're alliance--he seems a little bit of a troll. A Troll rogue, that is!

Q: Can you give a little background on yourself, who you are and what you do?

I am Chris Kluwe, and I play video games. A LOT of video games. I also play tabletop miniatures (Warmachine) and bass in a band called Tripping Icarus. O

It's been a while since we here at Wowhead have hosted an old-fashioned sweepstakes. Thanks to the wonderful folks at Razer and Riot Games, though, that's all about to change. From this weekend to next, we're giving away prizes--all in support of League of Legends!

What's League of Legends, you might ask? Simple: one of the best games out right now. It's been taking the gaming community by storm recently and even the pro-gaming circuits are playing it. With dozens of champions and intense gameplay, LoL is one of those games that's easy to get into but incredibly hard to master. In other words, it's addictive--and what gaming's all about. You don't have to take my word for it, either; it's free to play so you can start whenever you'd like and see if it appeals to you.

Anyway, about that sweepstakes we're hosting. Thanks to Riot and Razer, every day for the next seven days, we

A new TCG expansion called Twilight of the Dragons just came out and Cryptozoic decided to share some of the loot cards--through their Facebook, of course!

Starting today, the WoW TCG makers will be giving away two Nightsaber Cub on Monday then another two on Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday they'll be giving away two Fool's Gold for each day. Finally, not to be outdone by the previous prizes, on Friday they'll be giving away two Amani Dragonhawks to a lucky winner.

So how do you become a lucky winner? All week, all you have to do is comment on their Facebook to get entered to win.

Everyone likes vanity pets and 4.1 saw the release of a new style of pet cats much to every vanity pet collector's surprise! Now there's another runt to this in-game litter. Much like the Panther Cub, the Nightsaber Cub is an adorable cat based off one of the game's more memorable mounts. He's also this TCG expansion's common

UPDATE: This contest is closed. Winners will be announced soon. The post is locked to prevent further entry.

Did you know that it's Wowhead's fifth birthday this weekend?

It's hard to believe, but we've spent five long years of being one of the biggest World of Warcraft resources and working our hardest to tell you what you need to know to bring your a-game to Azeroth. The site has come a long way from its talent calculator days and remains stronger than ever--thanks largely to its awesome userbase and determined staff. You guys have made it all possible and that alone is worth a celebration.

Luckily for you, like any good birthday bash, we're celebrating with presents all week. But instead of presents for the birthday site, they're for you guys. We've hooked up with Cryptozoic, makers of the WoW TCG, to give away our logo's inspiring force this year: rockets! That's right, lucky Wowhead members will blast off from this contest with their very own loot code for a X-51 Nether-Rocket X-TREME/X-51 Nether-Rocket (x1) or Rocket Chicken (x3). Ten runners up will w

A huge thanks to everyone who entered our recent Maingear's New Tier of Gear Contest for making a great success, and congratulations to all of our winners! We have the final three winners to announce today, including the lucky users walking away with first prize and grand prize and another great daily prize winner!
